What is PRP therapy?
PRP therapy stands for Platelet Rich Plasma and the therapy is a treatment in the form of injections used to heal injuries, surgical wounds, and even cosmetic treatments. The PRP injections are made from your own blood, plasma refers to the liquid part of your blood that is comprised of its majority of water and protein. Plasma aids red and white blood cells to move through your bloodstream. Platelets are the type of blood cell that generates a blood clot and plays an important part in the healing process.
Doctors use PRP injections to repair damage to tendons, ligaments, muscles, joints, and skin. PRP injections are very popular in sports medicine as well as cosmetic treatments like hair restoration.
When are PRP injections recommended?
PRP therapy can be a helpful treatment in cases of hair loss such as chronic hair loss (also known as pattern balding) and acute hair loss (such as postpartum hair loss). PRP therapy is recommended for patients who still have some hair in the area where they are trying to restore hair growth. Larger areas of hair loss without signs of growth may not be the ideal candidate for PRP therapy.
